The Voice Function [40 VOICE]
Hit the [40] button to choose the sample that forms the basis of your
Sound. Use the [PAGE] buttons to select parameters within this
function to edit.
Turning Sounds On and Off
Button: [EDIT] [40 VOICE]
Page: 1
Parameter: Snd Enable (ON or OFF)
This enables or disables the selected sound. When a Sound is disabled,
“snd” will appear in lowercase in the display. When enabled, “SND” will
appear uppercase.
To avoid using up polyphony unnecessarily, turn off any Sounds that
you’re not using. Turning Sounds off is also a convenient way to isolate a
particular sound you are editing.
